Textron Systems Corporation is expanding its presence in the market of uncrewed surface vessels. On 13 January, the company unveiled its Multi Mission

The new MMUSV can carry payloads totaling 5,900 kg (13,000 pounds), operate in rough seas (Sea State 5), and tow over 1,800 kg (4,000 pounds) while remaining low-cost, Textron explained in its press release. Ayers told ZM that the MMUSV can transport payloads that the Generation 4 CUSV has carried, like the Towed Reelable Active Passive Sonar (TRAPS), the PONIARD guided rocket, or mine-counter measures (MCM), while also providing more fuel (i.e., range for TRAPS) or additional capacity (i.e., larger magazine depth in the case of SUW).
